Starigrad

The magnificent ambience of the Croatian mythical mountain Velebit and direct contact with nature provides all the believers on this pilgrimage with a spiritually enriching experience that is difficult to describe afterward. On the feast of Our Lady, the faithful pilgrimage to the church of Our Lady on Veliki Rujan, a votive shrine of the Velebit population and hikers, located on the highest plateau of Velebit (900 MAMSL). Upon returning from the pilgrimage a big celebration traditionally held on the Starigrad waterfront awaits the pilgrims and all other guests of the Paklenica Riviera in Starigrad-Paklenica. After enriching the soul, this is the perfect opportunity to soothe the body by tasting delicious local dishes and enjoying music and dancing.
